Mission Summary
PAMI is an interdenominational evangelical mission started in 1982 in Sorsogon Province of the Philippines by Norval & Ardelle Thorud, aimed at reaching the unreached, teaching and discipling, and assisting the suffering. U.S. missionaries stayed until 1989. The work has flourished with national workers ever since. PAMI now has 22 Filipino workers in 14 locations. Besides churches and pioneering works, there’s also a 4 year Bible school (Emmaus Bible Institute) with 23 students learning to be church planting pastors and Christian workers. Christian radio shows and milk feeding outreaches to children are also conducted. All this is accomplished with an annual regular budget of only $40,000. Gifts are tax-deductible and 99% goes to the field.
